Art Tours on Mount Gilon
Looking for an experience that combines culture, art, fascinating encounters, and fine food?
Get out of your routine and come on a unique tour of Mount Gilon with artist Paula Rykin, where we will discover magical and lesser-known places together, immersed in the breathtaking Galilean landscape.
The towns of Tzurit and Gilon are home to a diverse and unique community of artists, who create in a variety of fields such as sculpture, painting, recycled art, mosaic, and glass. The tour offers you a rare opportunity to enter the artists’ work spaces — places that are usually not open to the general public — and get to know the creative techniques, sources of inspiration, and personal stories behind the works.
What Awaits You?
Intimate Groups — The tours are conducted in small groups of up to 16 participants, and guarantee an up-close and personal experience.
Fascinating Encounters — During the tour we will visit four artists and get to know their world.
Tasting Experiences — Some tours will include a visit to the home of a local chef, who will pamper us with fresh, seasonal dishes that combine flavors and Galilean inspiration.
Light Refreshments — All tours will be served with light refreshments and hot/cold drinks at the beginning of the tour.
